What about this manhwa, other than that it's just one of the best comic books that I have the opportunity to read so far.

Once I pass the first few chapters which for my taste start slightly, but still allow us to admire the amber, dark and original style of this new universe, we are entitled to a story that is incredibly addictive.
Indeed, the seemingly ordinary scenario turns out to be of a completely different kind because the main objective of climbing the Tower takes a step back (while remaining ubiquitous), to become a backdrop on which the true story unfolds.
It is full of humor and ... rebound to the point that it manages to surprise the reader several times.
The almost total lack of information given to the reader as to the characters, which could be taken first and foremost as a weakness, turns out to be on the contrary a great scripting force. Each climbs the Tower, without really knowing what it is and what it contains.
The characters are very well developed and become very endearing because of their diverse personalities, forged by their past and determining their goal within the Tower.
Trials and battles are well worked but are not a goal in themselves because they are more often intended to serve the scenario, and not the opposite.

City Hunter is the first manga I have read, even before Dragon Ball Z, and that's why it's leaves me a good memory, it's the manga with which I laugh the most. We go easily from one emotion to another, following the adventures of Nicky Larson, a silly man with girls, but serious with his weapon. This series has so marked me, that I have the complete series, except for a few movies I miss them, but I have all the seasons, and it's really worth, the replicas of Nicky and Mammoth (Opponent and Friend at a time, paradoxical, I know) are unforgettable, or even ... bandits with ridiculous replicas that mark a person for life "I'm going to send you a dumpling" for "I'm going to kill you", I always have it head, and I go out often, so much is striking. The intrigues and adventures are really involved, we are sometimes surprised by the end, and the episode goes so fast that we chained at a frantic pace!

I really think that this manga is a must, or at least watch a few episodes to make an opinion for the most reluctant, this animated is not very long, 4 seasons, and some movies and OAVs. I think even start the series in book, it would seem that they are good, so I will let me tempt soon!
